It concerns me that this account is both named as a department and may be used by more than one editor. On Wikipedia, these are referred to as "role accounts". The inherent problem with role accounts is that it makes attributing the edits to a specific person extremely difficult, which leads to potential violations of the Gnu Free Document License, the licensing model used for Wikipedia.

I respectfully advise you to register individual accounts instead of attempting to share one for your organization. You may wish to use the "Userpage" of this account to keep track of who is a member of this organization, instead.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. I will typically reply to questions on that page, not on yours.

Thank you. Kylu (talk) 01:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
